Huevos Rancheros

Growing up in Arizona, Huevos Rancheros was a staple.  The good news is that it’s super easy and fast to pull together and tasty as can be!  All you need is a ranchero sauce or some sort of salsa, some eggs and a shell.   From there, it’s all up to you! Perfect for Sunday brunch for BFD (Breakfast for Dinner!)

Serves 6

Ingredients:

5-6 radishes, thinly sliced

Red wine vinegar

Pinch of salt and sugar 

1 can pinto beans 

5 oz pancetta, diced

6 eggs

1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese

1 avocado, quartered 

6 tostada shells

Shredded lettuce 

Favorite salsa 

Avocado Cream (recipe below)

Fresh cilantro, garnish 

Directions:

Add sliced radishes to bowl or mason jar.  Cover with red wine vinegar.  Add pinch of salt and sugar.  Mix well and cover.  Place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Heat a small saucepan over low heat and add pinto beans.  Cover and let cook.

Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium high heat.  Add pancetta and brown for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.  Drain on paper towel.

If making avocado cream (recipe below), make that now.  Once done place in fridge.

Wipe out pan.  Cook eggs, 1-2 at a time, sunny side up in your skillet.   Set aside when done.

Set up assembly line for each person to make their own, as desired.  Layer tostada shell on bottom.  Top with scoop of drained pinto beans.  Add shredded lettuce, pancetta, cotija cheese, salsa, avocado and pickled radishes.  Top with egg.  Garnish with fresh cilantro and any more toppings as desired.

Note, if you have extra time, you can make our roasted tomato salsa (on website).
